Messages when using 'Activate license'

If you click one 'Activate License' in the protection setup, one of the following messages will appear.

Please note …

You’re safe, this is the message that appears when everything is going perfectly.

The information is nevertheless important to remember!

No internet connection

This means the activation manager cannot connect to the license database.

Check if the machine is correctly connected to the internet, and if necessary, check the network settings. Check if Internet Explorer can connect to the internet, because then the activation manager should be able to connect to activation.scia-online.com as well.

No free licenses

This means the license has already been activated on another machine.

Return the license on the old machine first. Then you can activate the license on this machine.

Student license

You can register for a license again with the same e-mail address
(http://scia.net/en/forms/free-engineering-software-student-license-subscription).
This would make the license available again

Key not found

For server licenses, you must be physically behind the machine during activation.

Being connected by remote desktop during activation poses this problem.

For virtual machines, you must go through the console (usually vSphere).

Student license:

You will never encounter this message, since no USB Key is needed for a student license.

Try-out license:

You will never encounter this message, since no USB Key is needed for a try-out license.

FlexNET library error

The message says: “Initialization of FlexNet library failed” and “Operation has been completed with one or more errors”.

In this case, go to the list of installed programs, and remove SCIA License Server (FlexNET).
